Domestic Abuse does not discriminate on what country, ethnic background, religious belief or gender you are.

It’s a topic that is universal.

Too add further context to the magnitude of this global problem, below are some statistics taken from the ‘WHO’ (World Health Organisation)

• Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of women's human rights.
• Estimates published by WHO indicate that globally about 1 in 3 (30%) of women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.
• Violence against women is preventable. The health sector has an important role to play to provide comprehensive health care to women subjected to violence, and as an entry point for referring women to other support services they may need.
